“…Up to now, hyperventilation was mostly assessed in the laboratory (9,(16)(17)(18)(19). The present study fits in a line of psychophysiological research investigating longer lasting emotional responses in a more natural setting.…”

Objectives and Methods: Self-report studies have shown an association between music performance anxiety (MPA) and hyperventilation complaints. However, hyperventilation was never assessed physiologically in MPA. This study investigated (a) the self-reported affective experience, self-reported physiological symptoms, and cardio-respiratory variables including end-tidal pCO2 (PetCO2), which is an indicator for hyperventilation, in 67 university music students before a private and a public performance. The response coherence between these response domains was also investigated. Results: From the private to the public session, the intensity of all self-report variables increased (all ps<.001). As predicted, the higher the usual MPA level of the musician, the larger were these increases (all ps<.10). The main cardio-respiratory variables except PetCO2 also increased from the private to the public session (all ps<.05), but these increases were not modulated by the usual MPA level (all ps>.10). PetCO2 showed a unique response pattern as reflected by an interaction between usual MPA level and session (p<.01): it increased from the private to the public session for musicians with low MPA levels and decreased for musicians with high MPA levels. Self-reported physiological symptoms were related to the self-reported affective experience (all ps<.05) rather than to the physiological measures (all ps>.17).Conclusions: The present findings show for the first time how respiration is stimulated before a public performance in music students with different levels of MPA. The hypothesis of a hyperventilation tendency in high performance-anxious musicians is supported. The response coherence between physiological symptoms and physiological activation is weak.

“…The Checklist for Symptoms in Daily Life, based on Wientjes and Grossman [23], contained the original 35 items and an additional four dummy items (see Refs. [23,24] for components and reliability). Examples of symptoms that are included in the questionnaire are dizziness, joint pain, dyspnea, irregular heartbeat, lower back pain, headache, inflated stomach, chest pain, and so forth.…”

“…Hypocapnia is typically associated with anxiety states (2): many studies report a lower baseline FetCO 2 in panic patients (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12) and decreases in FetCO 2 have been observed in nonclinical samples in response to stress and anxiety (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). However, less clarity exists on a possible association of FetCO 2 with trait measures of anxiety 2 in nonclinical samples.…”

“…Other authors report that in association with the menopause, FetCO 2 of women increases and approximates values observed in similarly aged men (48). Extensive research by Han et al (7) has revealed complex interactions between trait NA, age, and gender in the prediction of FetCO 2 . We argue that whenever a wide age-ranged sample is studied, such interaction terms should be introduced in the model predicting FetCO 2 .…”
